They reckon you’re looking at £3m minimum even if you end up in the Europa Conference League or whatever it’s called. That’s seriously game changing (particularly post Covid) for us. Given that, I know which one I’d be prioritising.
Where are you reading £3M for the Conference League? I didn't think prize money had been decided? I know its £300K for teams who reach the Europa League Playoff round (which would be the Scottish Cup winners). Its then £2.9M for all teams who enter the group stage. I read the other day the Conference League may end up actually costing clubs like us money.

As for Saturday, rest up. Definitely. The new keeper has to play. We can't risk Deniz.
